If you are planning to grow flowers to encourage butterflies and other beneficial insects into your garden, for cutting or simply to add interest to a neglected area you can't go wrong with this selection!

Picking

Pick early in the morning or in the cool evening and stand flowers in deep water for a few hours before arranging. Cut flowers will last at least 5 days in a vase.
